So while still being a young chef and trying to multi-task at home cooking, plus cleaning, running loads of laundry, monitoring two wild dogs, and watching bad tv doesn't work out for me as I hoped. I get on the cooking crazes where I think I want to be chef and can just whip out an amazing dinner for my husband. So yes I've done all the horrible first year mistakes or marriage and cooking. Key note it that when your married your not just cooking a meal you have to be able to cook a meal plus multi-task all those things above plus if you have a baby just shoot yourself now. So I basically burned a lot of things like garlic bread which my husband things is hilarious, overcook chicken and pork, you name it, and my chopping as was sloppy and I would forget ingredients. There's just a lot going on and it just takes time to figure out how to juggle all these things and come out with am amazing meal.
Well I'm still learning even 4 years late. My husband wanted me to make some sea scallops. FYI scallops are very hard to cook, you have to have great timing, which I lack. So I look up online some recipes that don't look too crazy and found one for breaded sea scallops. I ran it by the hubby and he asked for some white sauce. This is when it starts to go wrong now I had to search for something else and my mind wanders. I ended up finding a whole new recipe for scallops with white sauce which was a wine based sauce but no breading. I of course thought since my hubby was watching his weight he would like this recipe better. Since I wasn't so sure I would like the dish since (I am not a scallops girl) I decided to fry up some shrimp and have a Poor Boy sandwich.
So now I am making two meals plus trying to do it over two days since my time was limited and my husband had to work. So I cooked the fish the night before in the sauce then put it in Tupperware to put it back on the skillet the next night. Bad idea. Not only did the Scallop and White sauce taste horrible ( don't reheat fish) my husband was sad because he wanted the breaded scallops, he said what I made him was Scampi- not what he had in mind. I thought thank god I have the back up dinner, the fried shrimp sandwich. Well when I was peeling the shrimp I had both the wild dogs right by my side so needless to say I wasn't paying full attention and left some of the skins on. This gave them some extra horrible crunch once they were fried. Needless to say I didn't try to cook again for two weeks.
If anyone knows of a good cooking class and medication for my lack of concentration please send asap!
